Troopers from the Michigan State Police Tri-City Post said on the afternoon of Friday, Jan. 17, that Chase Leuenberger remains hospitalized at MidMichigan Medical Center in Midland, where he was taken by ambulance from the crash site near the Seven Mile Road overpass. The crash occurred shortly after noon on Thursday.

Leuenberger was driving his Ford Ranger east on US-10 when he veered left toward the center median and was launched into the air, rolling several times. He was alone in the vehicle, was ejected from the truck and came to rest on the roadway's north shoulder, troopers said.

Witnesses at the scene told police they estimated the truck flew as many as 8 feet in the air at one time.

It does not appear Leuenberger was wearing his seat belt, troopers have said.

At the time of the crash, heavy winds were blowing across the road, shifting snow about and making conditions slippery, troopers said. Investigators believe the snow and icy conditions factored into the incident.

Leuenberger's Facebook page states he graduated from Bay City Western High School in 2012.

Troopers said they are waiting for developments regarding Leuenberger's condition before ending their investigation.
